It's the perspective of a thoroughly acculturated Russian immigrant who has nothing in life but his work and a crate of old vinyl.

[A] joyous, tender blast, and was rightly one of the hits of this year’s Cannes...
Film Comment
Rating: B --
That their cast of non-professionals and unknowns represents immigrants, minorities and the disabled in such a unifying and uplifting work is all the more reason to embrace an independent film that just might restore your faith in humanity.

[T]here’s a great deal to admire about this picture, not least of all the fact that it was shot entirely in Milwaukee....Mikhanovsky directs a cast comprised largely of non-actors, none of whom are reduced to caricatures.

Perhaps I would've laughed more at [Vic's] plight if I wasn't busy having a panic attack.

As sharp as it is blunt, Give Me Liberty is a bravura piece of filmmaking. Although it's not always successful, it delivers a swift kick to an industry that has sidelined characters like these for far too long.

Eye for Film
This warm, fiercely independent comedy-drama eschews anything resembling formula in favor of a boisterous and freewheeling joyride drawn from Mikhanovsky’s own experience as the driver of a wheelchair-accessible transport vehicle.
Variety
Product Description:
Aimless Russian-American man Vic (Chris Galust) drives a medical transport vehicle in Milwaukee, America's most segregated city. When riots break out, he struggles to navigate the city. He spends the day trapped in the van with an elderly group of Russians trying to get to a funeral and Tracy (Lauren "Lolo" Spencer), a black woman in a wheelchair with ALS. Directed by Kirill Mikhanovsky.
